THE APPEAL.
By JAS. P. SAWTEIX.
CUTHBERT;
FRIDAY, July 12, 1872.
Democratic ifledin^
By authority vested in the Exec
utive Committee a public meeting
of the democratic party of Randolph
County, is called,-to assemble in
Cuthbert, Ga , at eleven o’clock, A.
M. f Saturday, the 13th inst., for the
purpose of selecting delegates to rep
resent said county, in the State Con
vention called to meet in Atlanta,
on the 24th of this month.
W. D. KIDDOO, Chairman,
Executive Committee of Randolph
County.
New Paper.— The “Enterprise"
fs the name of anew paper to be is
sued soon at Newton, Baker Coun
ty, Georgia. Next.
A. M. Speights, of the Griffin
Daily Netvs, has. bought Mr. 'S. W.
Mangham’s interest in the Middle
Georgian. The Middle Georgian
and Daily News will, in the future,
be published by Speights & Hunt.
One dollar will pay for the Ar
l'EAttho balance of the year.
Toomrs and Brown.— Since the
publication of Joe Brown’s letter,
referred to in our last, G en. Toombs
has been confined at homo by sick
ness. He telegraphs to Atlanta,
however, that lie will soon be up
again, and will “go for Josey”
with a vengeance. Brown is calm
and determined, and expresses his
willingness and readiness, to accom
modate him in airy way indicated.
Cnovcriioi* Smith ami Mr.
James.
Editors Constitution: The'Griffin
Nows, and other papers have"
openly charged Colonel P. W. Alex
ander with the authorship of the
letters to the Savannah News signed
“Ogecchce."’ This impression very
generally*prevails, and Col. Alex
ander has not denied it that we
know of.
Now, as he is Gov. Smith’s inti
mate friend uud confidential ad
viser, the public very reasonably
conclude that the tenor and sub
stance of those letters are known
and approved by Gov. Smith. How
can it be otherwise ? Who can
doubt that if Col. P. W. Alexander
•writes those letters Gov. James
M. Smith knows it and sanctions it?
We have, therefore, the pitablc
spectacle of a Governor of Georgia
descending from the high dignity of
his position to spatter mud upon a
politieial opponent. Such a course
is altogether new to the people of
Georgia, and it will receive, as it
justly merits, their stern rebuke
and condemnation.

Died. —We are pained to learn of
the death of Rev. Charles R; Jew
ett, of the Georgia
which transpired in Bibb county
on Wednesday last. Ilis remains
will be buried in Fort Valley to
day. __
“ Mighty Right.”- —The editor
of the Sumter Republican says
from what he can learn in his trav
els, the James sensation is not to
be sneezed at.
“As James was doubly paid for.
bis mansion, when the same was
sold to the State for the modest lit
tle sum of one hundred thousand
dollars, wB can’t imagine why lie
should now want to have the use of
it for four years, free of rent.”—
Lumpkin Imdependent.
Why did not the Independent
tell how James sold his residence
to the State. Does it not know
that’tke price paid was as agreed up
on by commissio'ners appraising it,
and that James put any price
upon it at all? And that the amount
received by James was only about
seventy-five thousand dollars? Af
ter the election in November he
will occupy the mansion, “ freo of
rent” in accordance with the icish
es of the people, which will enable
our friend* to “ see how it is done
themselves.”
Send one dollar and get the Ap
peal through the campaign.
The Griffin News has every rea
son to believe that “ Ogechee,” the
Atlanta correspondent of the Sa
vannah News, is I*. W. Alexander,
Esq., a fact that should be borne
in mind while reading said letters.
That is a “ big wheel” within a very
small one, and will completely de
stroy the force of his assaults upon
everybody and everything that is
not Smithish.
Respited.—Spann was not hung
last Friday in Webster county, as
intimated in our last. Gov. Smith
telegraphed the evening previous
postponing the execution until Fri
day, the 26th inst.
Our Lumpkin brethren will have
an-excuse for suspending another
week, to enable all bands “ to go to
the show.” j
The Baltimore Conven
tion.
Horace Greeley Nominated,
The National Democrati cconven
tion assembled in Baltimore on" the.
9th inst., and was called to order by
August Belmont, in a very appro
priate, enthusiatie and patriotic ad
dress, in which he sought to im
press upon the minds' of delegates
the importance of a united effort to
throw off the yoke of military rule
and oppression to which the nation
had been subjected for the past four
years.
At the conclusion of Ids remarks
lit put in nommation Jefferson Ran
dolph, of Va., as temporary chair
man of the Convention, which was
unanimomdy adopted by acclamation
when Mr. Randolph was conducted
to the chair, amid great enthusiasm
while the band played “Dixie.”
In a few brief remarks the Chair
man said that he remembered viv
idly every Presidential contest from
the first election of Jefferson, and
that none were fraught with more
vital and important issues than the
campaign now before him.
After the conclusion of Randolph’s
remarks, and the passing of a few
preliminary resolutions, the conven
tion adjoutned%intil -lo’clock in the
afternoon.
After the adjournment of the
morning session, and before the per
manent organization of die meet
ing, about one hundred “Bourbons”
held a meting in the Maryland In
stitute building, and there appoint
ed committees an passed resolutions
preparatory to bolting, in -case the
Cincinnati platform and nomina
tion.should be ratified.
At 4 P. M., the Convention called
to order, J. R. Doolittle, ex Senator
from Wisconsin, was elected perma
nent chairman, and on being conduc
ted to theCliai'V made a speech calm
ly and dispassionately reviewing the
political situation, showing to what
end the country tending and
Would assuredly reach under the
rule and reign of the Radical party
now in . power. He, in pride and
faith pointed to the coming contest
as the dawn of a return’.to the prin
ciples of Constitutional Government,
and the restoration and protection
of the rights and property of the
citizens of the whole country. He
showed the cause of the split in the
party in power, its progress, and in
fluence, and as the representatives of
these two parties were known,
it was a question for that assembly
to determine whether their influence,
and support should be united with
the new party upon, now issues,
and Ly»their united efforts drive the
Itadical party from power, or wheth
er they should enter the contest sin
gle-handed, and seek to elect anoth
er. Ilis remarks wero frequently
cheered, while great pntliusiasm
pervaded the assembly.
SECOND DAYS PROCEEDINGS.
At 10 o’clock ou Wednesday mor
ning the Convention was called to or
der by the Chairman, when the com
mittee-on resolutions, through its
chairman, reported the adoption of
the Cincinnati platform. This was
met with objections from the Geor
gia, Delaware, Mississippi and Ore
gon delegations, but upon the vote
being taken w r as adopted by a vote
of 553 yeas to 170 nays.
The next business id order being
the nomination of a candidate, the
name of Horace Greeley was pre
sented, and the roll called when the
vote stood : For Greeley, 686 ; Jas.
A. Bayard 15 ; J. C. Black 21;
Groesbeek 2.
After the announcement of the
Chair, it was moved that Greeley’s
nomination be made unanimous,
which was received with enthusiasm
—only two or three dissenting
voices
Brown then received the nomina
tion for Vice President.
This concluded the duties of the
National convention, the results of
which wo hope to see work out for
the nation, peace, prosperity and
happiness, to every section and
race.
The nomination is received with
enthusiasm throughout the United
States.

According to the Griffin Star,
General Toombs, years before the
war, bought 100,000 acres of West

The Couoeed Troops Preparing
.to Fight. — Savannah, Ga., July
7. —Gov, Smith lias issued orders to
a Negro Military organization in
this city, known as the Lincoln
Union Guards, to hold an election
for commissioned officers. This is
the first instance of the kind in the
State.
One dollar will pay for the Ap
peal the balance of the year.
Tlj,e Constitution says it is whis
pered that several Atlanta ladies
threaten to sue for divorce because
their husbands.go to bed first.
The Itos*. .1 no. 15. James.
The Rome Commercial, after
publishing Mr. James’ announce
ment letter, says ;
It will be seen from the above
that Mr. James is squarely before
the people. Air. James, is a respecta
ble man, is. a candidate for a respec
table office, and his claims deserve
respectable attention.
The pink-fingered Reese, who so
daintily handles the pen that makes
lively the columns of the Telegraph
and Messenger, will find-it a poor
business laughing in contempt at the
earnest claims of Mr. James. —
The man who has pushed through
what Mr. John 11. James has, has
more “gum” in him than be whisk
ered Reese probably dreams of. A
self-made man, when he iff made
well , is a right enormous produc
tion. ,
Mr. James certainly strikes the
right key in his letter-of candidacy,
and whether lie gets a considerable
support or not, is entitled to the re-,
speetful consideration of all interes
ted in thamatter.
lie is,' in our opinion, a quick
morning horse, with. uncommon
fathom : long legs,-broad shoulder
blades, and a heap of “stay” in
him.
In speaking of the slurs and un
generous assaults made by the sup-
the Smith faction, the Al
bany News says:
It is folly to underrate the strength
of a man like Air. James, and dan
gerous to deride him as ignorant
and of humble origin. It is charged
that Ins education was neglected
and that he is not fit to occupy the
exalted station to which he aspires.
Whatever may be said of him, he
has been the friend of the poor, has
been successful in business, has ac
cumulated a large fortune, has wron
ged nobody, has steadily maintain
ed his respect for and kindness to
the common people, has attended to
his own-business, kept out of poli
ties and made no enemies.
From our independent standpoint,
it is difficult to prophecy results.
The Convention comes on too early
lor the concentration and organiza
tion of" the elements opposed to Gov..
Smith,—one object the committee
may lyive had in view in calling the
Convention in such indecent haste,
but if it shall leak- out that a- “snap
judgement’’ was contemplated, by
the controlling vdte of the commit
tee in the call, we venture the prc :
diction that a son of Chatham, or
the self made favorite of Fulton
will make a race that will astonish
the over confident friends of Gover
nor Smith.
It is all bosh to talk about Mr.
Jatnesg immodesty, audacity and in
capacity—men of meaner mould,
lower instincts and less capacity
than he have aspired and- won in
Georgia, under the rule of her own
people. Mr. James has as .much
right to ask for the nomination as
any he, she or it in the State, and
the tornado of swell-headism and
cod fish pretensions leveled at him
is in bad taste, to say tlio least of
it. " .
The Atlanta Whig very pointedly
remarks:
Mr. James represents the -com
mercial and business interests of
the State, and outside the profes
sional politicians and place-hunters
is a very strong man with the peo
ple. lie is a self made man, a na
tive of Georgia, stands well with
all classes, and possesses that finan
cial ability and tact now so much
needed in the Executive Chair.
Wo predict that he will give the
present incumbent more trouble
than any other Democratic cadidate
now in the field ; and if the masses
of his party are allowed to speak, or
in other words, if the Nominating
Convention is not manipulated by
Smith’s office holders, -and those
who are the-recipients of lys patron
age, Air. James will be the nomi
nee.
The Atlanta correspondent of
the Macon Enterprise, of the 6th
says of Mr. James’ prospects and
position:
A few weeks ago the policy of
the papers was to ridicule Mr.
James’ candidature for Governor.—
They now see it in a different light
and those who were the readiest to
make a jest of it, now have their
eyes openei widest of any. They
have found that the opposition pre
sented by him is by no means a mat
ter of ridicule. He comes before
the'pcoplc in an honest and manly
way. * He has sought no advantage
by illegitimate means. llc_ makes
an open announcement of his candi
dature, and states frankly his posi
tion upon our State affairs. On na
tional issues he has no position .to
define. Very few men have; nor is
it necessary they should have as far
as regards our State campaign.—
Our present Governor, who is un
derstood to.be Mr. James’ most for
midable opponent, has not declared
his position yet. Ilis bosom friends
hardly know whether he. is for Gree
ley, pr whether he is a “Bourbon.”
It is not necessary that such a decla
ration should be made, as it does
not enter into the gubernatorial*
campaign. l
The solution of the whole matter
is that Mr. James is acquiring a de
gree of strength that is astonishing
these old wire-pullers who are ac
customed to come up to State Con
ventions With everything cut and
dried, and with the nominee conve
niently .“tied out.” They do not
precisely understand .the situation,
and that is why such a clattering is
being' raised.
But I can help them a little to
ward understanding the situation,
by saying that Mr. James is not the
politician’s candidate, but the peo
ple’s candidate. He is strong with
the masses now, and is growing
stronger every day ; and he will be
very strong Avhen- the Convention
meets here on the 24th of July.—
Fulton county will send up James-’
delegates straight out. The people
here know him and are not afraid to
trust him. They know his honor
and are willing to risk it to grace
the highest office in tlie State.
Andrew Female College,
Cuthbert, Cia.
In bidding adieu to the pursuits
and pleasures of his first scholastic
year, the President of Andrew Fe
male College.would render unfeign
ed thanks to patrons arid friends
for their confidence, sympathy, and
generous support. To the citizens
of Cuthbert he is under many and
lasting obligations for the unprece
dented unanimity with which they
have rallied to his side. To the
local patronage he tenders a polite
bow. And to those, who, in the
exercise of legitimate rights, have
seen proper to bestow their favors
on others equally needy and de
serving, he sends his compliments
and sincere good will.
In view of the condition, suc
cess, and prospects of the College,
it will not be amiss to remember
the Giver of every perfect gift—
nor will it be improper to send out
congratulations to the surrounding
country, Southwest Ga., East Ala.,
and Florida. From these sources
Andrew is receiving charming girls
—contributions that will recognize
the plastic touch of her advanced
curriculum, expand into cultivated
womanhood,.and return to beautify
and bless their respective homes.
Henceforth the progress of the
College is onward and upward.—
Otir recent Examination and Coni'
rnencemerit exercises, meriting and
receiving almost universal commen
dation, come over us like the
breath of ihspiration, and fire our
souls for fresh aggression and grand
er achievements.
The Board of Trustees, composed
of such men as Anthony, Burke,
Cook, Fielder, McDonald, Mercer,
and. others of equal dignity and
worth, cheerfully responded to the
call of the President. Their pres
ence and judicious action not only
furnished ample evidence of in
creasing attachment . but thrilled
our hearts with the hope, that, at
no distant day, a lice Agent from
the South Georgia Conference would
canvass the country and cause the
glory of the latter 'College Build
ing to exceed that of the former.
Satisfied with the Faculty and
College, our girls are now enjoying
the society of loved ones. At home
• they will represent this as a Metho
dist College—one that cherishes the
spirit of prayer and' liberality—one
that stresses Christ instead of creeds
—one in which the respective
claims of different communions aie
never discussed or urged by Presi
dent or Professors—one in which
pupils substitute study for copten
tions about orthodoxy—and one in
which every girl is allowed to ad
here to the faitli of her Father, and
none dare to molest or make her
afiaid. If false impressions, have
been made, these representatives
from all the churches will correct
them. Reaction will set in; and
the opening of- the next Term will
find our former pupils present and
reinforced by many others, influ
enced not by rumor, conjecture or
contrivance, but by the unvarnished
story of those whose sojourn with
us prepared them to testify that the
President and Professors of An
drew Female are too honest, too
gentlemanly, to invest their strength,
and a impil's time, in effort's to
proselyte a child.
By way of perfecting our plans
and placing the College beyond the
possibility of financial embarrass
ment, some changes have been made.
For the next scholastic year, begin
ning September 16th., Rev. J. B.
McGehee, A. H. Flewellen, AI. A.
McNulty, Mrs. A. 11. Flewellen
aqd Airs. E. B. Russell will give
their undivided attention to the in
terests of the Institution. The
President will take charge of all
the business, and Airs. J. B. Mc-
Gehee will superintend--the house
hold affairs, looking well to the food
and raiment, health and happiness
of the large and interesting family.
In parting with Alisses Price and
Aloore, Airs. DeJarnette and Airs.
Tison, I cannot withhold this pub
lic testimonial to their efficiency,
fidelity and moral worth. Bearing
with them kindest feelings, toward
the Institution, qualified for almost
any station in life, they live in* our
hearts, and will ever be welcomed
to these classic walks. With our
Financial Agent we with
out a sigh. Ilis' politeness, pru
dence, and attention ‘to business
have won* the admiration and es
teem of all. Both a gentleman.—■
and a genius. J. C. Irvine
ses a high order of business talents
and should nrufke his mark in the
world.
As some are surprised at College
Rates (notwithstanding ours are
only S3O, $45, and S6O per annum)
and the seeming poverty of College
Professors, I will volunteer a few
facts that may help to explain the
profound mystery. In Andrew'
Female .College any clergyman, of
any persuasion, engaged in the
regular work of the ministry," may
educate daughters free of charge.—
Here, no widow pays full Tuition.
Here, deduction is made for persons
in straitened circumstances. Here
are several "beneficiaries. In fine,
no girl, is turned away from An- j
drew Female College because some
providential "dispensation leaves
her unable to pay Tuition $ and,
onee with us, all reeelre the same,
attention—none are petted for the
sake of the purse—none are pierced
by the taunts of poverty. - These
facts ore mentioned, (and they are
literally true,) not to parade]our con
tributions, but merely to intimate,
that, a College like ours, instead of
being regarded as a synonym of
extravagance ami bad management,
or viewed as a monied monopoly or
crying evil, is actually doing more
"for Cuthbert and the surrounding
country than any public enterprise
in Southwest Ga. In point of ben
efactions it is second to none save
the-church of Christ—and that pir
ganization docs not dispense its
blessings more cheerfully. To help
those who have Gospel or provi
dential claims upon us -.is no task,
no charity — but a duty and luxury.
Will the citizens of Cuth
bert and Southwest Ga., look these
facts full in the face? Will they,
according to .their ability, aid us to
perpetuate these blessings ? AVill
they consult these and their oicn
interests, and, imitating the magna
nimity of Macon and other cities
devise liberal things and do some
thing worthy of. the College 'and
cause? Who will respond by
words of encouragement? by pray
er ? by working for the College ?
h\ contributions ? Who will speak
to the President, or through the
Appeal ?
Influeilced by kindest, considera
tions we have extended indulgence
to a few friends, who were unable,
at the time,.to respond to our terms.
We have no'regrets. At present
money is very scarce—scarce with
them, and scarce with'us: But the
business of a College should be
done in a business-like manner—
and, if our friends arc unable to
pay, even a part, they should come
forward at this the dose ol" the scho
lastic year, and effect a settlement.
Such a course will evidence appre
ciation — establish confidence, and
furnish a solid basis for future ope
rations. Such, a course, viewed in
the light of reason and right, will,
we are sure, commend itself to the
judgement of all.
Citizens of Cuthbert and South
west Ga ! We arc no strangers.
Born in Georgia, educated at Jier
University, our riper
years have been consecrated to the
mental and jno.ral aggrandizement
of the grand old State —and now,
our lot, uud that of R large family,
has been cast with you. " From you
we have received many substantial
tokens of kindness —and for all we
thanJ: you We have had some
success—but this does not sutlice.
Placed in this position at the in
stance of such men as Anthony,
Key, Burke and Bishop .Pierce—
plaeed here by the South Georgia
Conference—placed here, not by
•choice, but by the persuasion of a
larger sphere of usefulness—placed
here by providence, I remain at my
post actuated by no selfish consid
eration, but an ardent, quenchless
desire to make Andrew Female
College- famous for sanctified schol
arship, and present hep to succeed
ing generations adorned with peer
less beauty and majesty. Such is
our aim. With God’s blessing and
yonr aid “ there is no such, word
‘as fail.”
We have been candid. The pub
lic may, can, should read us. Du
plicity, especially in those ever in
contact with youth, is a sin against
God, and a curse to
childhood. In a Teacher-its breath
is more cruel than the edict of Her
od, and its legitimate lamentations,
louder than those resounding
through Ramah. As President we
shall strive to maintain the dignity
of a scholar and Christian gentle
man. Ablioring flattery, selfish
ness, littleness —honesty, applica
tion, liberality and love shall swell
our hearts, sit in queenly beauty on
our lips, preside over every de
partment, and pioneer our pilgrim
age till, faithful to its high behest,
the'angdl hand lead Andrew to
the land of cherished hopes,' and
the angel voice whispers a pleasant
adieu. Respectfully,
J. B. AlcGeiiee.

Macon , Georgia, April 9<4, 1872.
Wc, the undersigned, have this day examined the practical working of
ImEtaoil’s Morse Power, and are so well pleased, that we feel no
hesitation in asserting that.its Mechanical Arrangement is such as to ob
viate most of the defects so very common‘to other Powers, and we feel
that it is destined to supply a want long felt atid satjght after; viz.: a
Simple, Durable and Efficient Machine, with less Friction, and free
from the liability of breakage by sudden jerks. We witnessed a 45-saw
Gin driven by it, with two interior mules, doing good work, with sawa
full depth, and a full roll.

Baker County, Ga., May 10, 1872.
This certifies that we have witnessed the working of the I*ailMf|f
liOl’SC Power, and have no hesitation in saying that it is the most
complete, durable and light running Machine we have ever seen. We
witnessed a 45-saw £tin driven by it with one horse, with as much ea»e
as the old gear with four ntules. We recommend every farmer who has
a gin house to purchase one of the Lamon Horse Power.
